Wow, we must have a similar way of working. I just discovered tablet pc's, I've wanted dragon for a long time and now I'd like to combine two of your wishes and have a mac tablet with dragon. (I signed the petition.)

Mike, a Model 02 of the OQO may not address all the problems the first model is showing because of the small form factor of the OQO. I believe the heat and WiFi issues may be related to the tiny size of the device. I am not sure you can cram everything the OQO has into that small a package and not have problems.

BobR, I would gladly have battery life problems if I could just have the CF card in both my Sony and PPC. It would be great to easily have my devices “dial up” if necessary when WiFi is not available.

On the same note, if the Mini-Tablet could use 32 bit PC Cards for the EDGE or EVDO of Verizon it would be perfect.

What a great list! I especially like the idea of a Verizon card for my PPC. Now, if size battery drain and online charges are reasonable, there’s a smartphone I can really live with!

And a mini-tablet is still a great idea. I long for the the day when tablets are a more mature product with a large customer base, and reasonably priced. But unfortunately, I think it might not happen for the general public until they feel more like paper to write on and have a better battery life.

Here’s hoping!…

An OQO 02 that has the option of Tablet PC on it and which also gets rid of all of the issues of the 01 .

Cheaper handtop prices!

Sony putting a *proper stylus* in their U series!
